This was actually requested by my bestie Erica, and a few other gals as a Halloween look (sorry it's a bit pic heavy, it's also my main profile pic). It actually came out better than I envisioned it granted i've never played with this "era" before. I also used the MUFE HD foundation for this look. Isn't it flawless??! It just gives an awesome look! I got the flower from an accessory store (I think it was "Amuse"). The steps I used are a bit similar to the Matryoshka FOTD in the sense that I used a neutral base and falsies, but I skipped out on the thick eyeliner and falsies at the bottom for a more classic, vintage look. Since I have a beauty mark by default I didn't need to create one haha. I also used "Stark Naked" blush and "Petticoat" MSF on my cheeks.

My inspiration was actually Dita Von Teese & the model from "Red She Said". Long black arm gloves would compliment this look and make a great costume. I also did a quick video below on how I did my hair for this FOTD.

Also, someone asked me about the size of the Urban Decay 24/7 travel kit, in comparison to the original, it's actually over half the size of the original, so you get all the colors at a good price! (I'll take a pic soon).

Directions:- Primed face with Monistat Chafing Gel, then applied MUFE's HD Liquid Foundation in #127 with Beauty Blender Sponge.- Apply your concealer- Apply your eye primer, I used MAC PP in "Soft Ochre".- Sweep your lids with a neutral eyeshadow, such as patina. I mixed mine with: Patina, Soba, and Ricepaper.- Highlighted using: Shroom or Ricepaper, Femme-Fi is good too.- Apply eyeliner (I used Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner in Black) starting from the middle of the lid, and wing outward. Then you can fill the inner with eyeliner. I applied 3 dots at the end of the 'wing', but this is optional.- Apply thick falsies for an elegant look that stands out. I used NYX's False Eyelashes in 101 (they are the ones that have a criss-cross pattern).- Lined my lower lashline with Urban Decay's 24/7 Pencil in "Zero", then smudged it with a Q-tip for a smokey look.- For the cheeks I used MAC brush #109 and applied "Stark Naked" Beauty Powder Blush on the apples of my cheeks and swept up towards me ear, then applied MAC MSF in "Petticoat" on top.- Contoured with "Emote" blush.- Used MAC lipstick in "Port Red" on lips, with MAC "Fanplastico" lip laquer on top for shine.

okay, I'm buying that foundation. So are you not wearing concealer? Do you not need concealer with this foundation? It looks great. It makes a huge difference compared to your other looks. Your skin looks really nice. I love this look on you. It's funny. I have the same flower. I have it in 3 different colors.

Thank you ladies! Haha Alyssa trust me, it doesn't fit like it used to! I was doing some MAJOR sucking in! LOL

Haha Jamie, I will do a hair tutorial on it soon!

Hes...(haha sorry it's too long) I did use concealer (MAC studiofinish in NC35), I forgot to list it sorry! And thanks! Yeah you will LOVE this foundation it's awesome! And aren't hair flowers cute!???

Hahaha 5-head! I'm really loving this look. I still have no clue what I'm going to be for Halloween. Apparently, Zac already bought his Spartan costume! I guess that means I should dress up in a toga. LoL. Hmmm... Any tips on a Greek-goddess inspired look?

I watched your vid this morning, so easy. I'm going to try it, although I have a lot of hair so most cute, easy styles never work on me. Thanks for mentioning that the lashes are crossed, now I know what to look for and don't you just love Fanplastico?!This is a great look on you not just for Halloween!

this look is really pretty! i love it! i think you could even wear it out with that corset, some leggings, and some black pumps, oooh sexay! hahah. stark naked looks really pretty on you. i can't decide if i want it or not because some people say it's plummy, but it looks like a nice pink on you. how do you think it would look on nc40 skin? i haven't seen it in person because the nearest MAC counter is an hour away from me. bleh.

This look is sooo gorgeous, You can pull off like any look! I totally loving the hair too. I wish I could get red lips to look right on me. Do you have any suggestions on how to find the right shade of red for different skin tones?
